I started playing this game, and 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul when I was 7. I can't remember what I got it on but it wasn't Steam. But I broke that computer one day at 1:00 AM in the morning getting chocolate and I started crying I loved those games so much. But yesterday I was reunited with them and that menu music on American Long Haul almost made me tear up. I'm 14 almost 15 now. Hopefully you guys could...

Looking back at 18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker, we can see that SCS Software always intended to create something as great as Euro Truck Simulator 2. For a game released in 2009, it was impressive, and any truck simulation fan can still enjoy it today. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3777830984 In the past, they developed games under other publishers, which limited their creative freedom...

The game doesn't deserve a negative review. But it is outdated, and its sequel is far superior to it. Firstly, there are 3 maps in the game (Tuktoyaktuk, Australia, Yungas), and ET2 (Sequel) adds 2 new maps, Montana and Bangladesh. There are lesser varieties of cargo, and the routes may get repetitive. But considering that this was released in 2009, it's not bad. Get it within the bundle if it goes on sale like I did...

Wheel support sucks. May have been solid when it came out, but it sort of lacks stuff expected in the truck sim industry these days. Interesting environments though. 5.9/10

Driving is realistic. But the turning radius of the trucks is poor, and not much different than older games. But the graphics are much better, as well as the weather. But this game is a different type. It is not a serious simulator, it is an arcade-style game. But there is nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that the player can get tired of it quickly, with only three environments included. I do suggest that...

This game is pretty old, but still worth a try. Changing locations/environments is good part of this game, from icy, dangerous and narrow roads to zones with hot weather made this game look somehow good and fun to play. At least for a few hours. The game itself is simple, delivering stuff from A to B, and that's it. Nothing else to expect.

Works, but that's all. You pick a "job", floor the pedal and brake at the finish. That's all this game is.

Despite it's dated graphics, it's still a fun game. I'm using a "Steel-Series" game pad, and custom mapping, Set up for manual transmission makes it a bit more exciting. Gear down and "HIT THE JAKES" So over all, if you like driving games or BIG TRUCKS, take it for a spin.

this game gives me such a nostalgia trip i used to play this when i was a kid and it still is one of my favorites i recently just got my CDL(Commercial Drivers License) and i played the game to relive the beginnings of my love for semi trucks. 10/10 SCS really should make another 18 wheels of steel game.

Just a good old truck sim for everybody who like Icy roads, steep mountain hills and hot deserts. I personnally like also the intro music :) Keep in mind you must change some control settings. The X-box controller is okay to use but not perfect.
